Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. In brief, it is the design and execution of lettering with an ink brush, pen, or other writing instrument. Contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner.
Where more flexibility is allowed in written form, such as East Asia and the Islamic World, calligraphy is regarded as a significant art form, and the form may be affected by the meaning of the text, or even various words. But in the West the aim is normally regarded as only to achieve writing that is usually consistent within each piece of writing, with little or no interpretation of the text attempted.
Modern Western calligraphy ranges from functional transcripts to fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be readable. Classical calligraphy differs from type design and non-classical hand-lettering, though a calligrapher may practice both.
Western Calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of wedding invitations and event invitations, font design and typography, original hand-lettered logo design, religious art, announcements, graphic design and commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions, and memorial documents. It is also used for props, moving images for film and television, testimonials, birth and death certificates, maps, and other written works.
